Why are we not talking about Wesley Johnson to the raptors, a long quick 3 with a good shot and entering only his 3rd year. He will be playing behind Beasley where he was hidden during his whole career in Minnesota and will continue to be hidden in Phoenix. For the raptors he could become that great small forward we need. He was a very high draft pick that was and will be underutilized.

I like Johnson, I don't think he's going to pan out in the league, but I always liked his game and thought he would be a great raptor. Good call, don't see it happening, but we can dream!i8theball.com it's a website...about, you know....basketball.

And some wonder why we should question the 'eye test'........

The most common starting line up was:
PG - Rubio
SG - Ridnour
SF - Johnson
PF - Love
C - Pekovic
2nd most common starting line up was the same, but with Milic at C

Wesley Johnson played a lot of minutes in Minnesota and he completely stank. He was a horrible offensive player and a below average defender. The chance that he, at 25 year old, can make a humongous leap forward is minuscule.
I expect he will be an end-of-bench player or out of the league within 3 years.

)slightly off topic but just seeing the most common starting line-up made me think about this.)
Yikes, Minnesota has a terrible roster. Even with Rubio it just looks very weak. Reminds me a lot of when Bosh was here on the Raps. If they keep putting out average teams like that K.Love will leave the Timber-wolves after this contract.
In regards to Wes. Johnson, the guy is just a bust. looking back he shouldnt have been drafted that high . He will never be a star in this league at this point.Last edited by pesterm1; Sun Sep 9, 2012, 01:02 PM.

Their record with Rubio was solid and they were fighting for 8th seed, add Roy and kerilenko and subtract Johnson and Beasley , they're a team to watch.
As for Wesley Johnson, not interested. Hes a bust plain and simple. Raptors should never have a player with "Johnson" on his back.(no disrespect to Amir but he's overpaid)

On a side note, if you're looking for a 3, according to Doug Smith the Raptors have sent a training camp invite to Chris Wright along with Magloire as was previously reported.Last edited by theycallmeZZ; Sun Sep 9, 2012, 03:48 PM.TORONTOOOOOO RAPTORSSSSSS
